1AC Nigeria Outline for Strange/Serrano Tonia/Mike
Right now biomass acts as the main source of fuel for cooking in Nigeria. It grows scarcer every day and is directly connected to the strategically essentialized conditions of women.

One death occurs every 20 seconds because of indoor air pollution caused by cooking methods alone.

As the availability of biomass shrinks, women in Nigeria’s search for fuel extends. Unhealthy fuel gathering trends ensure oppression and subordination for women.

Gender bias in current energy policy ignores women’s time burden.

Lack of time is paramount to the marginalization and powerlessness of women. Political decision making that is inclusive of women’s needs resolves not only the burden of time, but the health of the whole family.
Annabel Rodda 1991 (Women and the Environment pg. 91-93)
We need to reconceptualize development from a women’s point of view to allow humanity to go on.

The gates must be opened: Solvency depends on the prioritization of “third world” discourse and gender above dominant academia.

Bringing the local women’s concerns to policymaking is crucial to address these harms.

This influences our support for the following plan: The United States federal government should provide education, demonstration, and distribution of alternative renewable energy for stoves based on interactive dialogue through the Method of Multiple Introduction in Nigeria.
Women in Afrika want better technology when it comes to cooking. Lack thereof perpetuates domestic indoor air pollution and undercooked meals.

The method of Multiple Introduction includes women in decision-making on what form of alternative energy is best for them.

Our method solves Nigeria– policies must take into account multiple conditions.

U.S. action is necessary to transfer Africa to clean energy – otherwise instability will threaten U.S. interests.
